Brian, the term full sized does not relate to the number of keys, but rather the actual physical size of the principal qwerty keys, so when a manufacturer claims, full sized keyboard, this is correct on the proviso that the numbers and alphabet keys are all standard in physical dimension.

Karen, The vo keys are on both sides of the keyboard if you have a full keyboard. Unfortunately, the geniuses at Apple do not include a control key on the right hand side of their keyboards these days. So you don't get vo keys on both sides unless you have an older keyboard or buy one like the

Mary -- I really agree with you regarding the disappearing keys. Every time I read or hear Apple touting their laptops having Full-sized keyboards I roll my eyes. While their keyboards might contain some full-sized keys, they are most certainly NOT full-sized keyboards. And before the zealots

I too like the Apple BT keyboard compared with other possibilities. But I don't think they should tout it as full sized when it is not. I wish Apple had bucked the unhappy trend of cutting out certain keys on these keyboards. They get a lot of things right, but not this time, IMHO. It reminds

The VO keys are on the left side of the keyboard, and can be locked down with VO semicolon and unlocked by toggling that keystroke. This is because the right option key is used as the modifier to trigger keyboard commander shortcuts. also, if you're just cursoring around a lot, you can turn

Hi Karen, Speech rate can be adjusted with vo-cmd-arrow keys, left and right until you reach rate and up and down to adjust. As for drawbacks with quicknav or locking the VO cursor, quicknav generally won't impact anything else, though you'll want to be careful in the event you ever do
